AMD FX CPU Inducted Into Guinness Book of World Records

SUNNYVALE, CA -- September 13, 2011 -- A longtime favorite of
performance enthusiasts and overclockers around the world, AMD (NYSE:
AMD) today announced it has achieved the Guinness World Record for
the "Highest Frequency of a Computer Processor," by overclocking the
upcoming 8-core AMD FX desktop processor.

"The record-breaking processor speed that resides in the AMD FX CPU
clearly demonstrates performance gains for the new AMD 'Bulldozer'
multi-core architecture, which will provide x86 computing power for
this CPU and future AMD Accelerated Processing Units," said Chris
Cloran, corporate vice president and general manager, Client Group at
AMD. "Along with world-record frequencies, the AMD FX processor will
enable an unrivaled enthusiast PC experience for the money -- extreme
multi-display gaming, mega-tasking and HD content creation."

The AMD FX CPU, set to launch in the fourth quarter of 2011, achieved
a top speed of 8.429 GHz, surpassing the previous record of 8.308
GHz. The record was set on Aug. 31, 2011, in Austin, Texas, by "Team
AMD FX," a group comprised of elite overclocking specialists working
alongside top AMD technologists, who will also be named in the
Guinness World Records.

"We applaud AMD for their entry into Guinness World Records(R) for
achieving the Highest Frequency of a Computer Processor," said
Freddie Hoff, adjudicator for Guinness World Records, who is
presenting the award today at the AMD Fusion Zone, a technology
showcase in San Francisco, Calif. "We congratulate everyone involved
in this record-breaking achievement."

The record marks another accomplishment in the storied history of the
FX brand, which represents amazing, unrestrained PC experiences that
users can see and feel. All FX branded products, including the
upcoming AMD FX CPU, will offer completely unlocked processor clock
multipliers for easier PC enthusiast overclocking, and include
exclusive AMD software through the AMD VISION Engine to fine-tune
system performance. For FX branded processors, AMD has removed all
the stops to enable a fully unlocked experience, giving overclockers
and PC enthusiasts complete customization and flexibility.
